The phenotypic noise of GFP expression in various hosts. The phenotypic noise was calculated by using the formula: σ 2p /〈p〉 (variance/mean), σp was also named the coefficient of variation (CV) in the flow cytometric analysis. All the experiments were performed in triplicate, but for clarity, only the average lines of whole 11 h are shown in a, while the average lines with error bars from 3 to 11 h are presented in b
